The BHPA Paragliding Accuracy Nationals this year is being held in the Shropshire/Wales area on Beyond Extreme, Long Mynd and North Wales site by kind permission of the 3 clubs. It is open to all CP(H) and above rated pilots. Non CP rated pilots are welcome to compete in the Novice competition but they must be accompanied and supervised by their own instructor. This year we will be trying a different format for launching and flying, whereby a time limited window will be set and pilots are free to complete their competition flight at any time within the window. So pilots can soar and then go for the target or go for the target and then soar for the remainder of the window.

Come along and enjoy a weekends flying at sites you may not normally fly, in a safe and friendly atmosphere, transport to the top is provided by the organisers. But remember numbers are limited to 60 so get your entry in early.

The entry fee for pilots that entered in 2007 and did not request a refund will be reduced to £10
